You missed the news headlines?

Oh, it's funny you would zoom the camera on this particular screen. C7 should defo hire a proofreader for their billboards... ("transportion")

I was more thinking...

Would that be "just" a photoshoot, or a complete filming session? For some strange reason, the word that pops in my mind when I see the lady in your spoiler is... rotoscoping.

Now that would be some nice animation! ^^

Don't listen to that poopy head. Us bigshots developers (Gumdrop, Slonique, ICSTOR, you, me, the great ones) know that the first Patreon's bucks usually go into prostitutes and cocaine. That's tradition, and who are we if not traditional porn-making people?

But seriously, I agree with Akamari, but in the end, use your mone as you see fit ;)
Can I get invited to your parties? I promise I won't touch the cocaine. Can't say the same about the other one.

Not to be unappreciative, but I'd rather see the funds go towards the game or yourself rather than an expensive silly bonus.:)

It wouldn't look that great in "Where does the money go" tbh
You may be right, but Notty is Notty. Remember all those repayments she did in the past. :p It is what makes her who she is and a likable person, even if we all agree she should keep more for herself.

Yeah, but one might think it defeats the purpose, you know. Like if a significant portion of the pledge goes towards a bonus one might not even be that interested in, maybe he will think he shouldn't pledge (or pledge less), because it just gets wasted in his eyes... If the game doesn't need it, and she doesn't want it...what's the point? :)

Yeah that is how we might look at it, but we are not Notty. Things like that are important to her it seems. So all you can do then is accept the gift graciously and give back yourself when and how you can.

I think where does the money go is a better question to ask of some other devs tbh :)

I mean, how many new PC's are they buying each month for them to keep running the "support me to help..." line. *smiles sweetly*

Now I am almost disappointed, it was a nice fantasy that you would kidnap all of Ava's harem before her nose. :p -just teasing Ava- Daz seems to be an expensive hobby though. :p
Daz is indeed expensive. In the same way that "free" kittens are. You have the kitten (the software), but now it needs food, veterinary care, toys, treats, a brush, a carrier... (assets, models, light sets, morphs, plugins, and so on.)

I may have already dumped enough on Daz to have purchased a render machine if I had planned ahead instead :(

Alright guys - she's done.

Long to mid distance you can't tell the difference as far as I can see. Close up, she's no longer Barbie. Pores, blemishes and living skin and most importantly no rubbish gen hair.

Not around until I've got One out now. Laters

7 minutes later:
She looks...great. Really, really good. Took all day and about a £100 but worth it.
Does that mean chapter 1 is done already?

More seriously, good for you and good for Sarah. Eager to see her blemishy pores :D

In respect to the skin comparison thingy I mentioned earlier btw...
View attachment 413493

See the difference? If anything we should be seeing more detail on Sarah's skin with her being closer and yet it's Annie that has more detail.

The good news however is the first contender for the skin replacement is looking pretty good. By that I mean, other than the detail close up, you can't really tell I've changed the skin. Going to do some tests in scene situ and see if she holds up. Will advise
IDK, I just thought she used a lot of base... To be honest, I still like it here, it's part of her charm, but then I am someone who likes cartoons more than real people most of the time, so who am I to judge? ;p
Looks like the Deluca update was a strong one Huity,

Glad I skipped it then...
I said I wouldn't do this again but...just for some comfort.

This is new Sarah before I've done more work on the skin tone.

So not a massive difference even at this stage.

Original Sarah

More color in the face, but the body is different (that mole being the most noticeable diff, but not seeing them side by side, it's not too noticeable. The eyebrows are certainly different, but not in a bad way.
Who the f is Thea Lundgren is that an inside joke I'm not cool enough to get again?
That is exactly what Thea would say to throw us off the trail!!!
Those assets tend to replace large enough areas the original paint isn't an issue. At least that's my limited experience. Not saying it can't happen though.
Yeah, it just depends, the hardest ones to match are the male genitals, there are so many skin tones but there is a limit on what you can get on the genitals. Made worse by the face that the tip, shaft, and balls are not all the same tint, it makes it harder to make look good sometimes.
If you use New Gens (which I do) it takes the mapping from the original model. So popping her proper bits on still left me with the wire brush from hell stuck atop of her vag
Still happy to do a hair removal process if you want, have to make sure we get all of the layers, the base, the normal, etc...
I did and this is hilarious. I have a confession to make. I don't usually pay attention to all the details like backgrounds, stuff that goes across the screen. I want to styop and smell the pixels but I never think to do it when I'm playing so I miss stuff like that.

Oddly enough I'm good at finding secret areas in games but if you asked me what's where on a map I'd be like "I'm sure it's somewhere".

Tends to be worse if I'm anxious because I'm expecting something bad to happenor something very good (sex) to happen (looking for it).
I tend to be more that way with sex games than most other stuff, but the older I get and the more I multitask, the less I notice as well. But I guess it depends on what you are in the mood for when you play too.
Oh God, Tom...every news piccy had a whole series of them :)

Not that I blame you for not paying attention tbh. It's usually a safe bet that VN games don't have stuff in the background so why look....*likes to be different tho...*
I love Easter Eggs, and various other details like that, even when you don't actively notice them, they add a lot of flavor to the world, and make the scenes look more natural. I hope to add a lot of stuff like that.
*laughs*

Well, I decided to keep the "joke I have to take out!" so it should be a good run. C7 in Four has the news, interviews and the weather of course :). Oh. It's a celebrity interview this time *nods nods*
Keep ALL the jokes! XD
Don't you dare throw Trisha at me!:eek:
Is that our new running gag? Throwing Trish? Or is that a game, like horse shoes? Can I be the post? :unsure:
I wonder if I can use Mike as a shield.:unsure:
Well, he is pretty tiny, but a meat shield is a meat shield...
I thought you were straight though, :rolleyes: so... y'know... ;)
Straight as spaghetti!
Sorry. Just before anyone thinks I plan to hire models for my basement. I don't.

Well...not to put in my basement.... You'll see, maybe. Funds depending.
There is something I wish I could help fund! I don't have a basement, and the attic is too hot, but I do have a pretty large room...
You can't fake being atomised! ;)
Sure you can, you just need a body double, they don't even have to look like you! And I hear you can get one for as low as £160 a day!
Difficulty might be in getting her to keep her clothes on tho....
You say this like it's a bad thing... :unsure:
And let's not forget! Didn't Gumdrop do a Christmas special? I mean I wouldn't want to lose my comparison to him now would I? ;P
Only if you spent most of the year making it... I am just looking forward to seeing more of Sarah in her toga costume for Halloween. :devilish:
Oh, it's funny you would zoom the camera on this particular screen. C7 should defo hire a proofreader for their billboards... ("transportion")
This is why I run 2-3 spell checkers most of the time ...I still get shit wrong.

IDK, the videos of you rolling around in the notty cakes and bathing in wine might be fun to watch, not to mention using all the toys you bought Ava and the rest of your ...guests. I think that would be a hell of a lot more fun to watch than seeing seeing those guys going to the store and paying bills.

You forgot to mention what a pain in the ass it is to train it to do the tricks you want!

...
And for some reason, most of the materials for the add-on male gens seemed to have missed the fact that most males have slightly darker skin on the scrotum and shaft, lightening some towards the head. Whereas they mostly just do an exact match of the torso shade with an angry purple head and call it good. :cautious:

...

I wouldn't know, I haven't been able to train it do almost anything yet.

Did you know that changing the scale of a character (like creating the halfling I posted earlier) is not tied to the morphs - it's tied to the pose - so when you zero the pose the character goes back to full size. :mad:
